Starting on January 1, 2011, all domestic manufacturers or importers of light bulbs containing mercury must implement a state-approved recycling program. As part of the program, the manufacturer must establish collection centers to accept used bulbs from consumers at no cost.

“I find the articles on the Lexology newsfeed very relevant and up to date on a variety of topics of interest to my areas of practice. The authors are reliable and current on the topics about which they opine. Even when several law firms write on the same topic, I can often glean new viewpoints and perspectives from the different firms. The headings are also helpful because they briefly and accurately describe the topic and enable me to quickly and efficiently decide what I may or may not want to read in more detail."
